# /ask — Query-Driven Knowledge Creation Research a question, check if the answer already exists in the knowledge base, and if not, draft a knowledge doc that saves directly to promoted files after user review. Fast path from question to knowledge — no backlog intermediary. ## Step 0: Resolve Config Read `~/.gemini/antigravity/aria-knowledge.local.md` and extract `knowledge_folder`. If the file doesn't exist, stop: "aria-knowledge is not configured. Run /setup to get started." Use `{knowledge_folder}` as the base path for all file operations in subsequent steps. ## Step 1: Parse Question The user provides a question as the argument. If no argument is provided, ask: "What would you like to know?" Extract the core topic and likely tags from the question for use in Step 2. ## Step 2: Check Existing Knowledge Before researching, check if the answer already exists: 1. **Resolve aliases first (added 2.16.0):** if `{knowledge_folder}/aliases.md` exists, parse the alias→canonical map and replace any tag token in the question that matches an alias with its canonical form before the index lookup. No notification line needed — this is internal to `/ask`'s coarse check (`/context` is the surface that surfaces resolution notifications). If `{knowledge_folder}/index.md` exists, extract tags from the (post-alias-resolution) question and check for matching files in both the `## Tag Index` section AND the `## Semantic Hints Index` section. Tag matching is exact equality (existin
